Political and Legislative Affairs Committee

  • Print

The Political and Legislative Affairs Committee is one of six standing committees that advises and reports to the UFCW Canada National Council. The committee also guides our union's political action efforts, which are fully committed to:

  • Providing election and lobbying training that equips UFCW Canada activists with the tools they need to make a difference in the election campaigns and policy issues that impact their lives and their communities;

  • Mobilizing UFCW Canada members in non-election periods by training them to meet with their elected representatives and effectively advocate on issues affecting members and their families; and

  • Building a network of politically engaged UFCW Canada members who are committed to making a positive difference at every level of government, and leveraging UFCW density in key ridings.
